After all these years, Netflix continues to be the premier destination for streaming content. With recent hit shows like Wednesday, You, and Shadow and Bone, plus blockbuster movies like The Gray Man and the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front, Netflix still dominates the streaming landscape like no other.
That domination is likely to continue with Netflix’s April 2023 programming schedule, which includes the debut of the Steven Yeun/Ali Wong original series Beef, the return of the sci-fi comic book adaptation Sweet Tooth, and the arrival of Better Call Saul‘s sixth and final season. There’s a lot for everyone, so we’ve highlighted our selections in bold below.
